WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The members of
the Guiteau jury are out of patience with
the absurd stories that go out Of Washing
ton during the SILLY season. when actual
news is o scarce article, claiming that the
curse which that crank pronounced upon
those connected with his conviction has
been realized. Mr.. Hamlin, the foreman Of
the jury, talking Of the report that he was
penniless, and that four other members Of
the jury had died, said:
"That is lie am not penniless. On
the contrary my business is in better con-
dition than ever it was before, my health,
asyou see, is just perfect, and am happy
and contented person. Only one member of
the jury has died, and that was poor Tom
Heinlein, who was half dead with consump-
tion when he went on the jury. l will con-
fess that one of the jurors is in the insane
asylum, but his going there was not the re-

less, however, it was the result of long con-
fnsment Guiteau's curse upon the heads
of those who had to do with his conviction

Indemnity Claim.

claim of Julio R. Santos, for unlawful de-

erty by the authorities of Ecuador, has
again received some attention from the state
department A month or more ago Mr..
Santos, through his legal representative in
Washington, Mr.. Samuel Maddox, notified
the state department that he considered him
self entitled to an indemnity of $3.50, 200.
Secretary Bayard considered the amount
rather excessive, and so informed the claim
ant. After considerable correspondence on
the subject it was agreed that $241, 900
would be fair demand. Mr.. Maddox has
made out a prima facie case. Mr.. Beach,
the United States consul general for Ecua-
dor, has been notified as to ths status of the
case, 1t is probable that the Ecuadorean
government will submit the matter to arbi-
